BioWare: SWTOR subscriber numbers have remained steady

BioWare claims subscriptions for the priceyStar Wars: The Old Republic haven't dropped, merely that concurrent users at peak times have declined. Speaking to PC Gamer, BioWare lead writer Daniel Erickson noted the change in player behavior and that server mergers are coming, but not a priority.

The response comes following a report by Cowen and Company analyst Doug Creutz, who believes SWTOR subscribers peaked at 1.7 million in February, and estimates the population will be around 1.25 million by March of 2013 in the game's current state.

"Nothing is off the table when it comes to making sure our communities are strong and active on each server," Erickson told PC Gamer.
